Ah, now it makes sense to me now :)

Thanks for the quick response.

Our refcount must be at least the mapcount, that's what we want to assert.

Can you test and send a fix patch if that makes it fly for you?

Sure I'll keep the testing, I think it will just fix it, I have a few
WARN_ON_FOLIO reports all reporting mapcount is smaller than refcount.

Hi David,

I'm no longer seeing any warning after this, it fixed the problem well.

Cool, can you send a fix?
